About the Climate Stories Library

The Climate Stories Library provides a platform for individuals and grassroots groups to share their experiences of the climate and nature crisis, and other intersecting injustices. We believe every voice matters in the climate conversation.

Our Aims

Direct Storytelling

To enable those at the frontlines of the climate and nature crisis to tell their story directly and easily to a global audience.

Amplify Voices

To amplify the voices of those who are often less heard, or not heard at all.

Build Connections

To build solidarity and connections between individuals and grassroots movements and to encourage seeing the world through the lenses of others.

Global Collaboration

We aim to develop a network of collaborators around the world with whom we can co-create this project.

Future Developments

Artistic Responses

Create a platform of artistic responses to the stories, making art which in itself further raises awareness of the reality of how the climate crisis is interwoven with other social inequities.

Grassroots Address Book

A platform to connect grassroots climate and activist organisations with each other.

Research & Activism

Lead to the co-creation of research and activism surrounding issues of local justice.

Contact A Politician

Videos could be curated into a format ready to send to politicians and businesses to raise awareness.

Why Focus on Climate?

We see the climate crisis as just one of many symptoms of a current way of being, particularly by a global minority. A way of being in the world that has also caused, and is causing, other forms of social injustice.

As part of wider forms of unfair disadvantage, the climate crisis is one of the symptoms that affects all of us but in different ways. It connects us globally and, in doing so, it is an issue that can be used to connect with other health and wellbeing inequities, entangled with the climate crisis, which will differ for individuals from different localities and backgrounds.

Meet the Team

We are a small team of teachers and scientists who care about communicating the reality of the climate and nature crisis as a social justice issue.

Jennie Lord

Jennie is an ecologist, working at a global health institute. She is amid trying to (un)(re)learn about what it means to be a scientist 'in', instead of 'outside' society. She will probably still be on this journey way into retirement. You can find her at @jenniesuz.bsky.social

Advisory Group

An advisory group of individuals from countries on the frontlines of the climate crisis is helping us shape this project so that it is as useful as possible to as many people as possible. The eventual aim is for the Climate Stories Library to become a tool for collaboration between countries and activism.
